Dear Crocheter,

Bags, purses, totes. Whatever you call them, they all have the same general purpose. A nice

clutch can look elegant for a formal dinner, while a tote bag can make sure you have enough

towels and sunscreen at the beach. The perfect purse is big enough for all of your essentials

but doesn’t weigh you down during the day.

No matter what purpose you have in mind, we have the best crochet bag patterns for you

right here in this eBook. What’s even better about them is that every pattern’s skill level is

beginner or easy! Practically anyone can work up all of the crochet bags listed below, which

makes them even more useful than you thought.

Because these bags are so easy, they would also make fantastic gifts. It’s like a gift within a gift

when you let someone open up a crochet bag to find something else inside and then tell them

they get to keep the bag, too! There’s simply no better way to give the gift of practically andstyle all in one.

That’s a big reason you should take a look at these, too. Not only can you use these wherever

you go, but you are also sure to stay stylish and unique at any given moment and with any

outfit. Don’t worry about matching your wardrobe with the Large Buckle Tote, because it’s a

simple white pattern that looks good with anything! Take the Sparkly Chevron Bag both to

work and for your night out, because it’ll match whatever you decide to wear for either

occasion.

It’s that simple. All you have to do is take a look below and you’ll be on your way to have the

best handmade bags around.

Happy Hooking!

Slouchy Grab Bag

By: Lauren Kuchenbrod for Darn Good Yarn

This Slouchy Grab Bag is perfect for all of your daily

errads. Just grab it as you walk out the door and go! This

crochet bag pattern is made using recycled yarn by DarnGood Yarn. It’s a reasonably-priced yarn that is high

quality and helps women in India and Nepal. It’s a great

pattern to make if you’d like to crochet a bag using

recycled materials and need something to take with you

to the store anytime.

Materials:

Fine Yarn

o

Model is stitched with Darn Good Yarn’s Recycled Resolution Silk Yarn (4 skeins)


Notes:

Bag Bottom: If you want the bottom of your bag to be more stiff than floppy, use a skein of

yarn that is on the thicker side. If you want a bag with a bottom that sags (like my bag), use a

skein of yarn on the thinner side.Bag Body: If you want the bag to be stiffer, use a thick-er skein of yarn. If you want a very

floppy bag, use a thinner yarn. I personally continued with the thinner skein (that I had used to

make the bottom) and worked up the body of the bag, then used a thicker yarn for the rest of

the body. This gives the effect of the bag flopping/collapsing on itself while still maintaining a

sturdy body that won’t collapse on you while you’re digging around in the bag.

Bag Strap and Flap: Use a thinner skein of yarn to produce a softer, more flexible strap and

flap.

Instructions:All stitches are double crochet. (DC)

BOTTOM:

There is no exact science to crocheting a circle. For each round, the pattern will depend on the

uniqueness of your yarn. The important thing is to frequently put your work down (yes,

literally) to make sure it lays flat on its own. If it starts to show bumps or ripples, just frog it

back and adjust the number of times you DC in each chain.

24/53


Row 1: Chain 3, slip stitch into chain fur-thest from hook to join in circle.

Row 2: [This may be used for a few rows, depending on your circle].

Double crochet (DC) twice in each chain. Repeat to end of row.

Row 3: (Mark the beginning of the row!)

[This may be used for a few rows, depending on your circle.]

DC in first two chains twice, then DC once in third chain. Repeat to end of the row.

Row 4: [This may be used for a few rows, depending on your circle.]

DC twice in first chain, then DC once in second chain. Repeat to end of row.

As the size of the circle increases, you’ll do rows with fewer and fewer “DC twice in chain”. The

variations in the yarn create spots where more or fewer “DC twice in chain” are needed to

maintain an even, round bottom.

Just keep crocheting in a circle until you have the bottom of the bag at the size you want. Then

bind off your work. Pulling the yarn through the first chain in what would begin the NEXT row

creates a more uniform circle. Weave in the end now or just wait till the bag is done.

BODY: This is a bit tricky to start but not too bad. A perk of the sloppy bag is that its texture

and color changes hide imperfections! Pick a spot (It is helpful to start away from the bind off

site) to pick up stitches.

Row 1: Pick up stitches by DC through the chain BELOW the final row/edge. This will allow you

to crochet around the entire edge of the bot-tom piece (essentially creating a very thick, very

strong seam). Picking up stitches this way creates a nice, rounded edge to the bottom of your

bag, rather than a sharp cylindrical-like edge you might get from picking up stitches just along

the outer edge of the circle.

Row 2: DC each stitch in entire row. Do this for as many rows as needed to make the main

body of the bag as tall as you want.

DECREASING: When you’re ready to start decreasing, once again it’s a personal preference on

how you want it to look. My bag was done with the following:

STEP 1: DC once in first two chains, DC next to chains together. Repeat to end of row.

STEP 2: DC each stitch in entire row.

Then just repeat steps 1 and 2 until your bag has been reduced to the desired diameter. It is



25/53


recommended that you bind off after a “Step 1” row to prevent the top from resembling a

tube.

STRAP:

This shoulder strap was 10 stitches wide. You may prefer one that has more or fewer stitches.

It’s totally up to you! Pick a spot to start (once again, choose a spot away from the bind off).

You can either pick up stitches by DC into the top row of the bag or DC into the chain BELOW

the final row.

Row 1: Pick up the desired number of stitches. Chain 1 (or 2, whatever gives the smoothest

edge for you), turn.

Row 2: DC the entire row. Chain 1 (or 2), turn.

Repeat the rows until the strap is your desired length.

Line up the strap with the opposite side of the bag. Attach with DC into the corresponding

stitches in the top row on that side of the bag. Bind off. Weave in ends now or later.

FLAP:

The flap for the bag is crocheted between the two straps, on one side of the bag.

Row 1: Pick up all stitches between the two straps using DC. Chain 1 (or 2, whatever gives the

smoothest edge for you), turn.

Row 2: DC entire row. Chain 1 (or 2), turn.

Repeat rows until flap is desired length.

DECREASING:

When you’re ready to star decreasing, you can make the tip of the flap as blunt or narrow as

you would like.

Step 1: DC first two stitches together, DC across row to end.

Step 2: Turn (don’t chain 1 or 2), repeat Step 1.

Continue until you’re ready to bind off. Weave in ends.

Lay out all of your pieces ready for construction. Create backing for panels by cutting backing

fabric same dimensions as crocheted pieces and hand stitching to backs.

The backing fabric to help hold its shape is optional, but it makes it hold up really well even
